The Perfect Day In Winter
THE PURIFYING PEACE OF WINTER
Winter sees the landscape around Morva covered with snow and ice. Sunny days alternate with periods of heavy snowfall. The cold purifies nature and immerses the woods in a tranquillity that brings profound recuperation to those out walking.
THE POWER OF WATER
Getting out of a warm bed in the morning and immediately reaching for a large glass of water: the peace of winter in the mountains improves one’s awareness for the needs of one’s own body. After spending time outdoors, a cup of tea in the afternoon welcomes you with its pleasant warmth.
WARMING UP
The winter cold demands energy from the body. After a day spent hiking or skiing, the body asks for rest and warmth. In a massage the Zhyvets are stimulated, and the body is once more filled with warmth. There are still a few hours before the evening meal: why not spend it reading a good book in the warm serenity of the chilling zones in floor lobby levels?
ORTHODOX CHRISTMAS IN THE MOUNTAINS
The Yeremche attach great importance to old traditions, with those connected to Christmas very firmly anchored in their regional culture. The family celebrates the most important festival of the year with a festive meal, the giving of presents and midnight mass on Christmas Eve. Advent time sees towns and villages setting up colourful markets, where chestnuts, Christmas biscuits and mulled wine are all served and Christmas decorations, candles and ukrainian craft items are sold.
